In preparation for the ANC's 105 year birthday celebrations, the Gauteng Liquor Board has issued a "weekend pass" allowing traders to sell alcohol for longer than the law ordinary permits.

If you’re looking to get wasted for longer during the ANC’s 105th birthday celebrations in Gauteng, you’re in luck. The province’s liquor board has relaxed the general rules in order to accommodate scores of party jollers heading to have another go at filling up the Orlando Stadium.

“Thousands of people will flock to Gauteng during the designated weekend to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the ANC. The event is expected to contribute positively to the economy of the province, especially in the areas of tourism and hospitality,” the Liquor Board said in a statement.

“All qualifying liquor traders should, before being granted the ‘weekend pass’, demonstrate commitment to partnering with relevant law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of patrons and tourists.”
